Special cements are cements that serve some specific function such as altering the setting or hardening behavior of a concrete, producing different colors for architectural effects, imparting superior workability, imparting water retention and plasticity to mortars, resisting the penetration of water in walls or containment vessels or simply reducing the cost of the cementing agent. This article gives descriptions of the basic characteristics of certain special cements and their applications.
